ava teasing bea about her short haircut growing too long
[turned out silly! god bless]
//
beatrice wanders out of your bedroom around 11, hums in thanks when you get up from the couch where you had been reading to fix her a cup of coffee. she had been up early to surf, like usual, then back to sleep after you had laughed at her drooping eyelids and kissed her soundly after she'd showered. it's not new, not really, but the war is finally over and it feels like a series of small miracles: to sit on the couch as the day warms; to watch the sun float to the middle of the sky after the marine layer burns off; for beatrice to sleep without nightmares, to curl up into your side with her cup of coffee and kiss your shoulder. things are quiet, quieter than they've ever been since you'd had a piece of metal shoved in your back and life roaring through your veins; since you had kissed beatrice, sure you were going to die; since she had kissed you through tears when you finally made it back.
it's normal, these days, for her to nap: even though she won't fully admit it, she's catching up on, like, a whole lifetime's worth of rest, you're pretty sure. and a whole lifetime's worth of pleasure too, which you are all too eager to experience with her: the smell of peonies in the spring, the burst of taste from the plucots from the farmer's market, the feel of her hand buried deep inside you. and then rest — a pleasure borne of safety, of comfort, of finally, finally, not feeling like she's going to die. like, in some way, she deserves to.
she sighs into your neck and you kiss the top of her head, settle your fingers there. 'your hair is getting long.'
she huffs, quietly and mostly for show, which makes you smile. she sits up and rearranges her limbs, still casual, still soft and unassuming in her boxers and her favorite hoodie. 'i know.'
'you growing it out?' she's actively pouting about it, but fun to ask anyway, just to see her frown sharpen.
'ugh. no.'
'so you're just... vibing with this? it's, like, very 2010 justin bieber. i'm into it, though, don't worry.'
it adds a blush to her pout, which is delightful. 'horrible.'
'mmm. harry styles, original the x factor audition? more british, just for you.'
'ava.'
you laugh.
'you think you're very funny, don't you?'
'i'm, like, the funniest person i know.'
'that's okay,' beatrice says, a little smile sneaking its way into the corners of her mouth — delighted enough to make you suspicious. you narrow your eyes just in time for her to say, completely seriously, 'because, you know, looks aren't everything.'
'wow.' you clutch a hand to your chest. 'this is a worse pain than any injury i've ever had. a blow to my soul, beatrice. my very soul.'
it's worth it all, just for her silly laugh, for the terrible wink she offers you, for her apology in the form of a forehead kiss, gentle and reverent. 'i don't think that's true.'
'obviously not,' you say. 'and, also, i know it's a lie. i'm hot as hell. actually, hotter. i would know.'
she sighs, exasperated and overwhelmingly fond.
you brush back bangs that fall into her eyes. 'what's up, then?'
'i —' she pauses, fiddles with the chain around her neck, picks at her fingernails until you take her hand and squeeze. 'i don't know. ptsd and executive dysfunction?'
'ahh. so, super fun in your head lately, huh?'
'i—i've told you,' she says, a little hesitant.
'oh, babe,' you say, scoot closer to her and offer your hands. 'i know. and i'm sorry. you know i understand.'
she nods.
'can i help? i can schedule an appointment with your barber; we can make a little evening of it, if you want. or we can totally just come back here after. you know i'm, like, a sucker for a fresh fade.'
she grants you a gentle smile, a real one, a little indulgent and just for you. 'i do know that.' she squeezes your hand. 'our sisters asked if they might come over later, actually. so, if you could help me make the appointment for late afternoon, then maybe we can have a pizza night afterward, or something.'
never in your wildest dreams a few years ago would you have dreamt of having a pizza night with a bunch of nuns, or ex-nuns — one of whom is your hot butch partner, the rest of whom are your family — but, 'fuck yeah. that sounds awesome.'
beatrice nods, straightening and focusing seriously. you hide a smile. 'okay, i can do it. make the appointment.'
'you can.' you rub her back. 'or i can.'
she gets out her phone, opens her texts. there are... a lot of unopened messages, and you make a mental note to go through them with her tomorrow, but she scrolls to her barber's contact and sends off an extremely polite and perfectly punctuated text, and, like, god, you love her.
'okay, well, can we, like, make a music video or something with this hair before we go or something?'
'no.'
you scramble to follow when she stands up — lithe and graceful and powerful; you're still undeterred. 'what about a video in the car? taylor swift gay love interest?'
'oh, and you're taylor swift in this scenario?'
'you love her. i know it. speak now is like your favorite album of all time.'
'it certainly isn't.'
you follow her into your bedroom, just for fun, and nod when she tells you that her barber is available in an hour.
'hmm. 1989?'
she gives you a muffled sigh from the closet as you flop back onto the bed, and you smile up at the ceiling. her favorite taylor swift album is red, and you know it for a fact, but that's okay; you'll let her keep her silly secrets for now.
she emerges in a men's sage green linen co-ord set, slouchy and perfect, and pristine white sneakers, and holds out her hand. 'lunch?'
you pop up and lace your fingers with hers.
/
beatrice orders six pizzas, all different kinds from the sourdough pizzeria nearby, which you try to tell her is too many, but she's still a little anxious about things so you let her have it; you can eat leftovers and force camila and yasmine to bring some back to mother superion anyway. beatrice also sets the table outside, which is one hundred percent ridiculous, but it's cute so you just tell her it looks nice and put the whole stack of pizza boxes in the middle. there's a whoosh and sulfur and then mary, lilith, camila, and yasmin are dusting themselves off in your living room. you hug them all tight, compliment mary's freshly done braids and camila's t-shirt, yasmine's new earrings. you make it a point to annoy lilith with as many pick up lines as possible until she just walks away from you to skulk around on the patio while you get everyone wine or beer, but she takes the glass of a beautiful chardonnay she and beatrice like with a small, genuine smile.
'your hair looks nice, beatrice,' camila says, digging into her slice of pizza once you're all sitting around the table.
beatrice steels herself for a moment, and you all know she's still working through everything: a lifetime of trauma, from her parents, the church, a holy war. 'thank you,' she says, soft and sure, and you share a smile with camila.
'yes,' lilith says, and beatrice is mid-eyeroll when lilith contines: 'very love island boy.'
there's a brief pause and then mary is delightedly and loudly laughing, beatrice is blushing up to her ears, and it doesn't take long until the entire table dissolves into giggles.
'oh my god,' camila says, 'let's have a love island party!'
'it is summer,' yasmine agrees.
'i'm ordering you a waterbottle, right now,' mary says, phone in hand.
beatrice groans and looks to you, exasperated and adorable. 'better than justin bieber, at least.'
you grin, put your hand on the back of her neck, run your fingers along the grain of her buzzed hair until it fades neatly into the short top, where it's always inevitably, and fashionably, a little messy. 'i'd crack on and then couple up with you every trip to the firepit, if that's what you're asking.'
'i'm leaving,' she says. 'i'm on a journey of self-discovery, and you're all the worst,' but it's all posturing: she laughs and eats her pizza and is apparently swayed into actually having a love island party next weekend by your promise of wearing your tiniest bikini for it.
a few days later, a package does arrive on your front porch, and you almost snort seltzer through your nose laughing so hard when beatrice opens it to find a water bottle with her name on it in bright pink, curly font.

have recently learned there's a bit more hate around trainwreckshipping than i was aware of so i guess i just wanted to talk about it a bit and give my two cents on the ship, how i see it and i guess my perspective on things. i've kind of always wanted to talk about it, but i just haven't been brave enough until now haha (sorry, i am not super eloquent when it comes to writing things like this so my apologies) ((also throwing it under a cut because it may get long and might also include some slightly sad-ish things so i don't want to just throw that in everyone's face you know))
----
i think i'll just preface things by saying i've always totally understood why trainwreckshipping has gotten so much flack since its inception. or hate, because maybe flack just isn't strong enough of a word. but i do understand. there were mischaracterizations of emmet by portraying him as violent to volo because it was assumed that volo was directly responsible for ingo's disappearance. i was guilty of it. suuuuuper guilty. and i can understand why that put the ship in such a position for many people. toxic, unhealthy, etc. but... i think what i'm a bit confused on i guess is the fact that it's still viewed so much this way to this day. viewed as one of the worst ships because of how toxic it is. how unhealthy it is. all because it started that way in fanon only. but you know, from a canon standpoint, it has nothing. nothing at all. so really, this ship could be anything because it's based in fanon only. no canon interactions of emmet and volo exist yet. there is no official basis on how these characters would interact with each other. and yes, while there were misunderstandings of both characters early on, that certainly doesn't mean it's still that way today. that doesn't mean that people haven't studied and looked at these two characters a little closer to understand them better and to try and make them more realistic to their canon portrayals. to make more accurate depictions of these characters and how that fits in to a healthier perspective with them. i dunno. it just kinda baffles me that with the variety of trainwreckshipping content out there now, some still call it toxic and unhealthy as if we're perpetually stuck in that time period of when it was. like it's not allowed to be anything but that ever just because it started that way. and what makes me the saddest about it all is now seeing so many friends and people in the community of the ship start to get disheartened and discouraged from enjoying something they really actually enjoy because there's still such a bad stigma to the ship. personally for a long time i've just ignored that stigma because i try not to let that stuff drag me down. but i will admit that yes, it has made me more reluctant to post any art i do of it. i've definitely had my periods where i've questioned uploading my emmet/volo art, usually as wholesome as it is, because it does have such a dark cloud around it fandom wise. it's why i made my side blog, in fact. because i just didn't feel very comfortable uploading mostly emmet/volo art here to my main because so many people dislike it or outright hate it.
and in regards to the ship itself, i think i've always thought of it in a slightly different way than most. not so much enemies to lovers but rather through the lens of how volo might could change, be redeemed, see the how his actions in the past inadvertently affected others (and by that I mean his involvement in opening the rift... like yes, that could be what caused ingo to be sent to hisui, but we don't know that for sure... and even if that was the case, volo didn't do it specifically to target ingo. volo was only ever interested in trying to get to arceus and build a better world in his vision).
or how volo could look at emmet after getting to know him and potentially see the beauty and value of the current world through him. you know, seeing someone like emmet and admiring that he can still find a reason to smile and be kind despite all of the pain and suffering he must have gone through since ingo's disappearance. volo starting to see a different perspective than he did before (aka wanting to build a new world because the current one was too full of pain and suffering) because of emmet. i dunno. that's just me personally. because since actually looking more at volo's character and his dialogue in game i've been real interested in redemption paths for him. exploring those possibilities. i just enjoy exploring said possibilities mostly through the dynamic i have in my head for him and emmet because it's fun. it interests me. i see cool potential in it. i enjoy it a lot. and while i don't think i ever portray volo super accurately, or even emmet for that matter, i still think i've come a long way since first finishing pla and ever looking at emmet/volo interactions. but regardless of all of that, that's the beauty of a ship of this nature. a ship that has absolutely no basis in canon. because it really can be anything you want it to be. it can be enemies to lovers, it can be more wholesome, it can be whatever. it's not locked into a specific dynamic because the characters have never officially met each other, let alone had a conversation. and even if that were the case... AUs are still a thing. :D
anyway that's pretty much all i had. just wanted to talk about it a bit because i've seen a recent uptick in people mentioning all of the hate and dislike for the ship etc and i dunno. i enjoy the ship a lot. it's just sad to see that there's still so much hate around it even though a lot of the content now is not like how it originally started. not from what i've seen, at least.
and while i don't expect anyone who hates it to ever warm up to it, i just wish it could be understood that the more toxic, unhealthy dynamic is not the basis of anymore. there are healthier portrayals of it now.

excuse me, are you accepting requests? If so, i’d like to see you make headcanons on how the lookism main casts would react to their partner having awakened powers🤭 like telekinesis or smth-
Ooooh sounds fun!
┅┅┅┅┅┅┅༻❁༺┅┅┅┅┅┅┅
Daniel Park
At first he thought that you were joking because it's not Sciencetifically possible (even though he has two bodies).
But when you lifted a spoon and bend it in mid air, he legit thought vivi's forbidden cookies effects still didn't wear off.
" Am i on drugs? "
" No, you're not. "
Daniel then opened up about him having two bodies and asked if hes an awakened one too; which you shrugged and suggest to run some test.
Which he failed.
"Man, you're one strange awakened one."
┅┅┅┅┅┅┅༻❁༺┅┅┅┅┅┅┅
Jay Hong
When you told him about your awakened abilities and showed your ability up front, a light bulb appeared at the top of his head.
Since Joy's birthday is near, he asked if you could do some 'Magic tricks' in her birthday which you feel offended for some reason.
I mean come on, why on earth would you waste your talent for such thing? When you're supposed to be out there to save the world from evil and not be a clown for someo— Never mind you're getting paid for 69 billion.
Totally worth it.
┅┅┅┅┅┅┅༻❁༺┅┅┅┅┅┅┅
Zoe park
Her eyes sparkled as you did her make-up with your telekinesis! Who wouldn't be amazed when your s/o has superpowers?
After you were done with her make-up she asked if you could do it on her live stream which you declined saying that would attract unwanted attention from bad awakened ones that would come after you.
She was saddened as you explained how hard the awakened life is and apologize for not knowing.
After that, you two were happily making canapés in her kitchen.
┅┅┅┅┅┅┅༻❁༺┅┅┅┅┅┅┅
Mira Kim
It was winter and you two were walking in the park in 4am admiring the Christmas decorations.
As you two sat in a bench you thought it was time where you confess to her about your awakened abilities.
Her reaction was similar to daniel thinking that you were joking to make her laugh.
You took her wrist and a strong gust of wind lifted the both of you. Mira panicked a bit but you reassured her saying it's your power.
You two were dancing in mid air while you were whispering sweet nothings in her ear. She fell for you harder.
But alas, your sweet moment was ruined when you saw a glimpse of zack with a thunderstruck face.
┅┅┅┅┅┅┅༻❁༺┅┅┅┅┅┅┅
Zack Lee
He was laughing at you when you told him you were an awakened one who works for an organization with incredible abilities that protects the world from bad awakened ones who don't use their great powers for greater responsibilities.
You were offended by his mockery and so, you made a plant shape fist appear beneath him and hit his jaw.
"What the fuck was that for?! Why'd you hit me!! "
"Hit you? No i didn't, i would never! This fist shaped plant that appeared out of nowhere did! " you said with a mocking tone.
┅┅┅┅┅┅┅༻❁༺┅┅┅┅┅┅┅
Vasco
His eyes gleamed like a child when you lifted him up with wind.
He wanted to tell the others but you refused saying that your powers should be kept a secret because it would attract the bad guys.
Vasco understand that because he watches super hero shows and would get hyperfixation whenever it's superhero related.
You adored his reaction and he would often question your life as a "superhero".
°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°l||l°
A/n: I'm sorry for not responding to everyone's request and neglecting them for a long period of time. I was just so busy in school because high school is a bit hard... I hope you guys understand that! And i apologize again for that again.

AIGHT I GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
K-pop stans kind of scare me. Like I get people don't write for Chen out of respect for his marriage, but some have me scared to bias him. Or let it be known he's in my top 3. EXO CBX for life. Like I'm not going to be weird about it, he deserves some love too 😭But he is super handsome and talented, and the whole world needs to know! You really just need eyes and ears to know that though. Also, a wife and kids. Like yeeeessss Kim Jongdae! Live your life. I love that for you!!! Anyways Chen appreciation for life!
Anyways. Back to Xiumin I go I guess 😭
Oh yeah I noticed the decline in Chen content awhile ago and I'm also a bit guilty of it on my exo version of this blog I also stopped including Chen and writing him in the full group posts. It does feel weird to write for a married man with children I don't know why but I get that. But you should definitely be able to bias him. Kpop fans are so weird about that. Like it's not like you're home wrecking by biasing him. I don't even think I'm exaggerating I'm sure that's how some fans feel. Which would be a wild way of thinking.
But I understand kpop fans are terrifying I saw a hyunjin editor have to apologize cause she edited a sexy part of choreography to a sexy song. ......y'all know it's okay to be sexually attracted to adult men being sexy right?? That's what they want when they do those things. Like that's normal. I just realized it's something that irritates me so much cause I've had worse things said to my face and was told it wasn't a big deal, it's my fault and to just suck it up. That when I see people up in arms about something completely normal I'm just like grow up, calm down it's not a big deal as long as they're not saying weird things directly to them then it's not an issue.
I really need kpop fans to maybe find other interests and hobbies outside of kpop and lighten up it's really not that serious. You should be able to bias whoever you want without fear. I think you should totally bias him if you adore him, don't be afraid of insufferable children with nothing better to do.

Akari: Eh- Senpai!?
Sentaruo: Haru-
Haru: Yeah, and he played like 3 times faster because of that

Akari's friend 2: Really, that's good---
Akari's friend 3: I spent all my part-time job money to come here, if we were wrong I'd cry
Akari's friend 1: This "Sound of the Rapids" that Akari's playing, is it hard?

so about some of the traits and behaviours related to ASPD that can be upsetting or harmful to others (eg putting yourself and others at risk, not understanding or regarding the rights of others, etc), how do you deal with that in relationships (whether friends, dating, family, work)? like, when their side of an argument is that you’re being disrespectful or putting them at risk, but your side is that those are literally symptoms of ASPD and you weren’t actively trying to hurt them? they’re not wrong for feeling hurt still, but you’re not wrong for existing with this disorder. i realise it’s generally considered difficult for pwASPD to maintain relationships, but like, somehow you have to live your life and that involves a lot of interacting with people, plus pwASPD don’t deserve total isolation that they don’t want, obviously. apologies if the wording is confusing.
/genq /intending this respectfully
I appreciate this question and especially the way you worded it was actually super respectful, so thank you for that as well.
For me and many people with ASPD our social circles tend to be smaller and usually within that even fewer actually know about the disorder, which can make this especially tricky if they don't understand why we're acting this way. In that case, I personally do my best to take a step away from the situation and talk to people I trust who *do* know about my disorder to ask them AITA or not.
If they agree with me entirely, I stand my ground with the other person or remove them from my life if I feel it warrants that (which, with this disorder, I more often than not do if it wouldn't take much effort to cut them out of my life).
However, if the people I trust to help with my moral compass feel that I was entirely in the wrong, I will try and process that as a logical fact, practice faking remorse by myself, and apologize. Even if I don't feel remorse and the thing I did wrong came from my symptoms, I can personally still accept that the facts are that undue harm was caused to them.
My apologies tend to sound insincere so I've been told, but people tend to appreciate that I accept full responsibility, acknowledge the harm I caused, and work to change my actions, so they tend to see it as me seeming insincere vs actually being insincere. After all, I generally *don't* try to hurt the people around me, but if I did it anyway then it's probably worth trying not to repeat, if only for the practical purpose those people serve in my life.
I try really hard not to be the type of person, regardless of my PD, who says "this is how I am, get over it" without at least considering if I'm in the wrong. It took me many years to get to this point though, and I am able to admit that I was a pretty crappy friend at some points bc of my refusal to try and see where I was wrong. I used to feel that if I didn't feel remorse I should not have to show remorse, but I'm in the process of learning that's not accurate.
Remorse is best delivered from a heartfelt perspective, yes, but if that's not available storebought is fine. It's ok to have remorse be a practiced set of words and actions that you do when people are upset, so long as your apologies at least come from a place where you intend to try to change. That change doesn't have to be not having symptoms, but it's reasonable for people to expect your symptoms not to constantly negatively impact them.
All that said, if it's something I truly cannot change about myself, my side of the conversation usually looks like this, with adjustments based on what exactly the issue is (feel free to use this as a script of sorts if you have trouble talking through these things with ppl in your life! YMMV, but I spent a long time formulating it, so it deserves as much use as it can get lol). Keep in mind a lot of this is gonna sound like I don't have ASPD and that is on purpose. In my personal relationships I prioritize apologies and times when others are upset as times I choose to mask. That is honestly more for me than for them except for my Exceptions bc it’s extremely frustrating for me to navigate what is and is not coming off as angry, dismissive, etc. so I prefer to mask heavily during these kinds of conversations. You do not have to mask if you do not want to; it should not be the expectation of NT people/pwoPDs that we mask for their comfort.
If they know about my PD: "I don't want to hide behind this or use it as an excuse, but what you're talking about is a symptom of my personality disorder. I put in a lot of work to avoid these symptoms affecting other people, but at the end of the day I still have a disorder and some things are just not able to go away. What I can do is find out how this is hurting you. If it's my tone and not my words, there isn't much I can do about it besides remind you that my tone is often non-reflective of my intention and emotions. If it's my words, we can work together on a phrasing that would be more comfortable for you in the future. It will come across as scripted, but that doesn’t change the fact that I mean it. I would just be using that phrasing because it’s important to me not to hurt you. If it's a specific action, I can try to not repeat it. But I cannot get rid of the disorder and part of being in my life is understanding that and trying to find ways we can both cope without me having to mask all the time. That is exhausting and unrealistic unfortunately. Can you explain to me what exactly was the issue with what I said/did and how it made you feel so we can understand each other better?”
If they don't: "I get that what I said/did came off differently than I intended and hurt you. I'd like to know specifically what about it hurt you in your own words so that we can come up with a solution to avoid this in the future. I know it may feel obvious, and I basically already know (sometimes with neurotypicals you just need to LIE) what was hurtful. I just feel if you explain it to me, we can target it together better and I will be able to be a better friend/partner/coworker in the future. If you don't communicate that to me, I might accidentally end up making things worse and I don't want to do that. Think about it this way, if what I said made you angry and I thought it made you sad, however I try to rephrase it is probably just going to make you angrier since I’d be looking at it in the wrong context and that warrants a different response.”
If something is 100% unfixable, resort to a gentle version of old reliable "this is who I am" speech: "I understand that you're upset and the goal here was not to hurt you. I don't enjoy seeing you upset and what I did/said wasn't intentionally malicious. But that said, it is kind of just something about me that I talk/act like that sometimes. If it helps to know it isn't anything against you, great. I can give you that reassurance any time you need, just ask instead of assuming ok? If not, I think it may just not be possible for us to see as much of each other or maybe be in each others' lives. I don't want you hurt and if a part of my personality is hurting you, then you deserve to be happy. I want you to be happy and I would wish you all the best in that."
The difference about saying that last one now vs when I used to is that now I am both using much gentler wording and only saying this when I honestly believe the only thing I can do to help this person protect their own peace is to not be in their life. Inevitably, people tend to push after this "no I can handle it, I don't want to lose you", and I usually try and discourage it once and say "look I don't want to be the reason you're hurt and have you bottle it up until you resent me and then lash out at me. I want to protect both of us." If that still doesn't work, gotta be honest, it's their funeral at that point bc you said you could handle it, you said it wasn't that big a deal, you're a grown person and it's your job to either mean what you say or take responsibility if you don't.
Sorry for writing a novel! This stuff is complex and it’s hard to explain my process concisely. I hope this answers your question though.

So, how many people has Ludinus convinced to, if not straight up drink the Kool-aid, then to be open to trying it? Now granted, I'm not quite done with the episode yet (I think I have like a third left), but I've got some thoughts. They're not very well organized or written out, but I've got them nonetheless. And they're probably not like. Super accurate or anything, this was all just sort of an emotional reaction I had while listening/watching and my attempts to figure it out. Apologies for what is basically me word vomiting on Tumblr trying to figure out my feelings.
It seems to me that this whole 'what have the gods done for us/let's get rid of them' thing sort of feels like a political science or philosophy discussion gone wildly off the rails. People discussing not being happy with the system, what do the gods really do and why do we need them, if the people who serve them abuse their power in these ways is it better to bring down those institutions or start at the source and work out from there...that all feels like stuff people discuss all the time. We debate topics, we argue for or against different moral and political and religious philosophies...debates get messy, historical events happen, the cycle of history continues...you get the idea. Maybe it's not the gods we're debating about but systems of government and power structures or economic structures.
But in a world where the gods are real and known to be real, where they're deliberately behind a gate so as to NOT have huge amounts of influence and power, where average people don't seem to totally understand the Divine Gate and its purpose and where the average person isn't having the sort of interactions with divinity that adventuring groups and religious leaders are, it feels like it isn't a huge step to take people from just talking about this to acting on it. And I know people have acted on things historically in our world too. Maybe that's why I'm listening to this conversation in this maybe hag definitely cult leaders hut and not totally disagreeing with points being raised. It's one thing, I guess, when the argument is being made by Imogen in regards to constantly hearing voices in her head. It's another when the village elder of a town currently suffering abuse under a strict religious system is making it.
I don't believe for one second that Ludinus gives a shit about taking down the gods in the name of freedom. I don't think for a moment that if Predathos is released and does what the name god eater implies that they'll be satisfied when the gods are gone. Ludinus is an ancient, powerful man with a big ole chip on his shoulder who's been nursing a grudge for centuries (who fucking ate fairies to live that long what the fuck ). He's also used to being in a position of power and influence through his role in the Cerberus Assembly and the government of the Empire. Based on the notes Team Wildemount found, we know he started all this by asking questions and fucking around until Molaesmyr found out, and that he either doesn't understand/know or care about possible side effects or consequences of his actions, or possibly both. He just, as far as I can tell, wants a power vacuum. When he says 'we take down the gods and we become the gods', I absolutely believe that the 'we' is 'him'. He becomes a god like figure. The cycle continues. And he's taking advantage of people, their very valid problems with organized religion and the power of the institutions, the problem of corruption and bad apples, the general lack of public knowledge of what the Gate actually does, and he's using it to convince people this is the right way. And it feels so much like things we've seen happen historically that it just...I dunno. I said this was basically emotional word vomit with no point, didn't I? But yeah, it made me feel weird and uncomfortable because I could see how people fell under his sway, how the arguments he makes can have merit to people.
And THAT is why...
Tumblr media
Well that and he turned my favorite character into a fuckin orb battery.

Unpopular opinion but the mha guys would totally suck at being boyfriends, but hear me out
Tomura Shigaraki
He'd be super insecure about you talking to other guys because he's scared to lose someone so sweet to him(he may or may not have killed a few of your guys friends). I feel like he'd genuinely be extremely controlling at first, he was never shown a proper relationship and when you try to leave him or do your own thing he'd go hay-wire, lashing out and crying like a toddler. Eventually after a whole lot of communication and a couple of talks he loosens up and things become a lot better for the both of you. He was so scared to loose you but he would learn to value your happiness over having you around constantly, because you have your own things to do right? You remind him so much of his mother as well, you're like his peace when he's stressed out after a battle with the heroes. In the end when you talk to him he's in shock, at first he thinks you wanna break up and he gets defensive but when you let him know you don't wanna leave him he calms. You let him know you're not okay with him freaking out the way he does and he needs to allow you to be your own person. It takes a few times of reminding but he eventually learns, everything got a lot better for the both of you.
Izuku Midoriya
He's be soooo shy at first. His little crush he had turned into a full-blown relationship! He'd be super worried about doing things right all the time, and he'd overthink everything(He's still a lil messed up by everything that went down during his hero training). When you two first started dating, there wasn't much that changed about your relationship. A few weeks in and you realized there was a lot to learn about him. His anxiety is absolutely terrible, especially when you go on a mission. He calls and texts you constantly, it starts becoming a little too much for you to handle. When you finally confront deku about the issue hes a little confused, he honestly thought this was a normal thing to do with your partner. He goes on his little mumbling rants about how sorry he was and how he's gonna change, you quickly reassure him though. When you two finish talking through it you both understand each other much better.
Bakugo Katsuki
Bakugo would be a total asswipe at first, he honestly probably had no clue that he was supposed to be so nice to you(you were kinda in shock when over a few weeks he didn't become nicer to you). He'd make some rude comments and you wouldn't take it to heart but you'd be upset when he talked about your friends or family. He never really learned to keep these thoughts in his head. When you confront the problem directly and let him know you're upset by his comments he gets defensive and asks why you want him to 'change'. Eventually you let it slip that he hurt your feelings and his entire attitude drops, the moment Katsuki learns he hurts your feelings he feels like shit. He distances himself for a while(like 2 days, he honestly couldn't be apart from you too long) and eventually comes to talk to you. He apologizes and you two talk for a while. You talk about your boundaries, schedules, dates, everything under the sun. It felt so good to finally become open to each other.

Could you maybe do James Potter headconons+ SUPER FLUFFY maybe headconons like little this threw out the relationship if this makes any sense you don't want to do this or did something like this before I totally understand and I love the good writeing and vibes from your blog 💖💛 and I hope you have I beautiful day
Hi! Thank you so much for stop by and leave your request! It was really fun to think about James and reader's love story, I tried to coer all the basics so it's a little long. I hope you like it! And sorry for taking so long to get to your request and if it's a little weird i have a lot going on right now and I tried my best
Dating James Potter Headcanons
Summary: a little look into your relationship with James
Warnings: fluff, mutual pining, friends to lovers
Word count: 1100+
English is not my first language
So I feel like you guys would meet on the train to Hogwarts in first year
It would be because an accidental bump or something like that while passing through the corridor
However, that would be enough for you to fall in love with him
How couldn't you? James was the most beautiful guy you had ever seen—with his long incontrolable curls and that cute smile.
He apologized for bumping into you and you couldn't do anything more than flash a awkward smile, running away embarrassed the moment he turned around.
You crossed paths again in class and you became pretty good friends.
However, you lost all hope of James seeing you as something more than a friend the moment you realized he was in love with someone else.
Lily Evans was perfect and you understood why James was head over heels for her.
So for years you settled for just being James' friend, focusing on all the good things and enjoying his company instead of suffering for an unrequited love.
That helped you get over your crush and as the years went by you learned how to be his friend and listen to him talk about Lily without dying inside. You still had a thing for him, but it was much more manageable.
You were there with him and the rest of the marauders planning jokes, studying for tests and celebrating every time he won a Quidditch match.
You LOVED to watch him play because he always found you in the crowd of students. You didn't know how he did it, but in every match there was a momento when his eyes would lock with yours. It was just a couple of seconds usually followed by a playful smile, but that was enough to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Eventually, your relationship started to change. 
You noticed that James had become a little distant, acting weird around you and even avoiding you some times. 
You didn't understand what was wrong and you wondered if maybe you did something wrong. 
But every time you tried to talk about it James would simply deny everything or come up with some random excuse to justify his weird behavior.
It wasn't until you showed up to a party in the arms of another guy that he told you what was really going on with him.
"I think I'm in love with you." Was the first thing he said to you after pushing your date away from you and dragging you to a more private area. 
"You think?" You asked him with a raised eyebrow, your brain somehow managing to create a coherent sentence despite your surprise and confusion.
"I'm in love with you." This time it was an affirmation, one that James followed with a kiss. 
The moment your lips touched you felt butterflies in your stomach. Fireworks exploded behind your closed eyes as you followed his lead, moving your lips against his. Your hands found a home in the back of his neck, your fingers playing with his curls as you let yourself melt in his arms. 
James hands rested on your cheeks, holding your head in place as he deepened the kiss. 
He was scared to confess his feelings to you. He didn't want to ruin your friendship with his stupid feelings. 
But now that he was holding you like that, he couldn't help but notice the way your lips fit perfectly together like two puzzle pieces.
He also noticed the overwhelming sense of happiness that flooded his senses.
And in that moment he knew that he did the right thing. 
When you broke the kiss to breathe and he looked into your eyes he realized that there was no other girl he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. You were the love of his life.
"What about Lily?" You asked him when he expressed his feelings.
"I haven't thought about Lily in that way in a long time, I just never realized that until quite recently."
After that you guys were inseparable.
Like seriously, if you were close before, now that you were dating there was nothing that could keep you away from each other for more than an hour. 
And the pda was all over the place
You both had waited so long to be together and now that you were you weren't holding back
The marauders constantly made fun of you for it, specially Sirius.
He always made kissy noises and tell you to get a room every time he saw you holding hands or kissing.
It was kinda annoying to be honest, but it was Sirius so it was kinda your fault. You should have known better that to do that stuff in front of him
When you graduated James and you moved together.
Sirius spent most of his time at your place so he was kinda your roommate too.
And he continued to "live" with you even after James proposed to you.
He was like the son you didn't have yet.
and also like the dog you didn't have
You loved living with James, loved falling asleep in his warm embrace every night and waking up next to him every morning.
He was you happy place, your home.
And you were his.
James definitely cried at you wedding when he saw you walking down the aisle.
How could he not? You looked so beautiful in you wedding dress.
The veil a delicate fabric that created a soft halo around your figure, making you look like some deity that descended from heaven just to be with him.
And you cried when he read his vows. 
But then you cried together when you discovered you were pregnant.
It happened a couple of months after the wedding and when you told James he hugged you tightly as tears rolled down his cheeks.
And he told you just how happy he was to start a family with you, saying over and over again that he was the happiest man alive. 
When you told the rest of the marauder they freaked out, congratulating you while they fought for the godfather's spot.
James was really supportive during the pregnancy. He read every book he could find on the subject as well as a bunch of parenting books. 
He was there for you when you felt tired or uncomfortable, and he always knew what to say to calm you nerves whenever you started panicking about becoming a mother. 
His love and support got you through everything.
And when the baby was born you spent a long time admiring them in complete disbelief that you were able to make something so beautiful.
And you chuckled as you looked at James holding you baby in his arms, thinking about the day you met him.
You couldn't believe that all that started with an awkward interaction in the train to Hogwarts.

Hello! I absolutely adored if the door wasn't shut series- I think I've read it the entire thing four times since I first came across it (which was just yesterday). Your writing is so beautiful, and honestly the FEELS!! I can relate to the reader character so well, and they are so well written. Some of my fave parts are the angstier parts (especially after the Jesse incident and they were hiding in their shop). I know too well the feeling of not being good enough, and the fear of being left behind by everyone I love.
I'm just wondering (and this might be me projecting too), but does Joel know the extent of what he did to the reader? Like I totally get he did it to keep them safe, but he left them after they showed a bit of vulnerability (telling them they want to go home/being scared). I know he's apologized, and I know he knows it was wrong to take away their choice, but does he know that it's really messed up for him to have done that after the reader was so vulnerable with them? It sounds like they weren't super touchy-feely from the beginning, so the fact that they told them were scared. It was exactly like how they said to Tommy, about how they look in the mirror and see all the parts of themselves that was not good enough (or not enough to be loved and kept in people's lives). By abandoning the reader, Joel basically said the reader was too 'much' for them, and that their fear was a burden. My heart literally aches when I read the conversation with Tommy bc that feeling of rejection- especially after such a vulnerable moment would kill me.
Anyways sorry for the ramble! I just love this series so much, and I wanted to hear your perspective on it. And I love that the ending wasn't super wrapped in a neat bow- there was still animosity and how it doesn't feel like complete forgiveness but just a moving forward. I think it'd be interesting to see Joel's POV in all of this, especially at the end when he probs has to come to terms that he'll never 'get back to before' per se, and Tommy/Maria has most likely replaced him in being their safe space. Apologies if that was presumptive, and not what you had in mind with the ending, but I really don't see the reader going back to having that level of trust with him- not like they have with Tommy/Maria now.
okay i think this is like one of my favourite asks concerning this series ever. first of all, THANK YOU!!! omg. you’re so kind :’)
now let’s get into it >:)
i’m going to have to say no, joel doesn’t know the extent to how badly his actions effected reader! or at least he doesn’t quite understand the full extent of it. i mean we’ve gotta think like … this man was a fully grown adult when the world fell apart, you know? he became guarded, sure, but that wasn’t the way he grew up!!! whereas that would’ve been the way reader grew up, never knowing who to trust, never knowing where danger was gonna come from, never having a safe place to admit how r felt.
i’d say that when joel sorta saw that vulnerability it scared him because he was so used to reader being closed off, yk? which kinda only proves reader’s fears to be right, which is just so :( but we do know that joel consistently doesn’t think he’s good enough to protect ellie (and therefore reader too) so that definitely feeds into his reaction too. joel had his reasons for doing what he did, but at the time of them leaving reader behind he didn’t even think about how it could effect them!! he was concerned for their physical safety rather than any emotional or personal things.
i do love a bit of angst but even i’m a bit like :( when i remember what i put reader through in that series LMAOOO. they’re gonna have to go on a long journey to ever get even remotely close to joel like they had been before. but you’re absolutely right, it’s never gonna be like it was before, and that’s something that both joel AND r will have to come to terms with :(
and also NO PLEASE I LOVE HEARING YOUR THOUGHTS!!! never apologise this is my favourite thing. i love talking about this with you guys!!!
i think on some levels reader will never have that same level of trust or safety with anybody after joel. like i think it’ll have left a permanent mark, and they won’t be able to fully have faith or trust in someone again.
r’s relationship with tommy and maria is probably the closest it’ll ever get to what they had with joel, but it’ll never be quite the same. or maybe it will, but i imagine it’d take a very long time to get there. tommy and maria already know that all they can ever do is just be there for reader as much as they can, even when r thinks they won’t be. i’m sure they’ll have spoken to each other about how they’re gonna be all up in r’s life for as long as they possibly can, until their dying breath, honestly.
thinking about joel in this series is so sad, because when we think about what happens with ellie a bit later on as well it’s just so … sad. bc *tlou 2 spoilers kinda* when he and ellie fall out, that’s gonna effect his relationship with reader, too. it’s gonna feel like another betrayal, another reason that it feels impossible to trust him, even though r would be glad he did what he did. but yeah, joel would be lonely for sure, but he’s just glad that they’re both alive and safe, even if it’s not with him anymore.
i was originally going to do a part 6 to that series, but the ending of part 5 was just so … satisfying to me? like it’s realistic in my eyes!!! they’re never gonna be the same, that’s true, but there’s something. and joel would take whatever something r would give him.

I have so many things running through my head right now (all about Barbatos 🫶) but I feel weird sending multiple asks so I hope you don't mind if I put them all in one!
Firstly, owl Barbatos has been flying around my thoughts for DAYS. As a long-time bird lover, I can wholeheartedly say that he's very owl like in general! But this is less about him being a cutie patootie little bird and more about his onesie thing. I NEED TO HUG HIM. He looks so soft and comfy and squeezable EEEEE! I just need to spot him from across the room and then rush up to him and envelope him in the biggest embrace ever! Place several little kisses all over his beautiful face before he's had enough and just kisses me... 🙏 He actually looks like a dream to cuddle with in his onesie I cannot stand it.
Next, I am terrified of butterflies. This current even had me thinking all about how Barbayos would deal with this. Like, I am so scared of them that when I was a child, I was kicked out of the butterfly sanctuary for screaming and crying and scaring the other kids. Anyways, LMAO, I think he'd think I'm silly (I am) but still never make fun of me. That's what's so wonderful about him, he'll never judge!
I just realized these are all completely self-indulgent, and I apologize for that, but I have one more djmsjdwnwkow. So, I had left over chain from a previous DIY project, so I made Barbatos' collar chain that he has in his demon form!! I think it's super cool, and I think he'd think it is, too. I wouldn't even tell him about it, I'd just wear it one random day and see if he notices. (He will. He notices everything. More evidence towards owl Barbatos propaganda.) But, yeah, we'd match. I was wondering if you had any silly things you'd like to match Barbatos with! Personally, matching pajamas and keychains are SO cute.
Final thought, Barbatos would make you his home screen. Anyone can see a lockscreen if you look at their phone, but only he gets to see your face on his home screen <3
Tumblr media
Listen, I always have Barbatos brain so I totally understand. You're free to send in one long ask or several smaller asks, it's whatever you're most comfortable with! I don't mind either way 💕
Ahh, owl!Barb is truly excellent. Like I definitely think that's a good choice for him. Owls have a reputation for being wise, right? And while I think in reality they're probably just as dumb as any other animal, I still like the association of wisdom for Barb, you know?
I actually have an owl that lives behind my house. I've never seen it because it gets dark here at night, but I've heard it hooting. It's actually pretty loud lol. But wouldn't it be cute if that was something Barbatos could do to like check in on MC in the human world? I think something similar whenever I see the crow gang that lives across the street from me, except I imagine it's Mammon. That's probably pretty silly, but I can't help but think about them, you know?
I think there are a lot of bird associations with the characters, I mean we also got peacocks for Luci. Though I have never seen or heard a peacock around my house lol. If I ever see a cow in the street, I'll blame Belphie.
Anyway, getting off topic here, which is that Barbatos in his onesie is absolutely adorable and I love him. He would be a delight to cuddle with.
OH suffering from lepidopterophobia?? LOL yes okay I looked that up because I was curious. I was like there has be a word for being afraid of butterflies. Anyway, I don't think Barbatos would judge you at all. The fact is, most phobias like this are irrational, it doesn't matter if they don't make sense. For you the fear is real and Barb cares a lot more about your comfort than anything else. He wouldn't want you to be scared or anxious about it!
Yo, no worries about self indulgence. I have so many self indulgent fics it's not even funny, this is what we're here for. I think Barbatos would be flattered that you would want to match with him. I especially like that it's something from his demon form, which he isn't in all the time, so it's like you're matching with him in a subtle sort of way. As for me, I don't know if I'd want something that's exactly matching, but I like the idea of something that's like clearly about him, you know? Like wearing a ring with a teal stone or something like that. I initially thought about wearing a teal septum ring, but then I realized I would like to be able to see it without a mirror so a regular ring would probably be my choice. I do like matching pajamas, though, that sounds adorable!
Oh yes, I like him being possessive. He's like, only I get to see this picture of MC, so it must be home screen. We'd kinda match that, too because this man is already on both my lock screen and my home screen yes I have a problem.

Ah, yes. You let your friends bring you to this party even tho you didn't really want to go.
A few hours before...
"Come on [your name]! You never go to parties! Come with us at least one time? Pleaseee?", said Amber
"Plus my brother will be there", responded Lumine with a small smirk on her face.
Your friends all knew about your crush on the blonde-braided men and wanted to help you start to make a move.
"Come on guys", you said blushing a bit, "I'm pretty sure he just sees me as a friend anyways".
"I'm sure that no, but still you don't know if you don't try! Come at least an hour with us and you can leave after if you want", said Yoimiya.
You thought for a bit and decided that maybe you could go to have some fun as well to try to relax after your long week.
"Fine, see you here at 7pm so we can all go together."
"Yayyy!", they all cheered.
Present time
So this is how you got here, sat in a circle with everyone else from the party while they prepare a game of "7 minutes in heaven".
"Who wants to spin first?"
"How about you Aether?", responds Ayaka looking at the blond.
"Sure why not?"
Kaeya passes him the bottle and he spins it. Meanwhile, a lot of thoughts go through your head. "What if it lands on you?" "No impossible, the odds aren't that high that it will end up on you." "Will that mean he's gonna kiss someone other than you?" "Why are you even thinking that, it's not like he's your boyfriend! Also, the rules don't say that you have to kiss the other person-"
"[your name]?", Aether says looking at you, "It landed on you, but if you feel uncomfortable don't worry you don't have to do it", he then says with his beautiful smile.
How is he so cute?
But wait! It landed on you! You!
"No, no, don't worry it's totally okay! Uhm is it okay for you?", he nods and you both direct yourselves to the closet near the entrance.
You see your friends looking at you with big grins and giving you thumbs-ups in encouragement.
Aether closes the door and immediately checks if you're okay.
"Are you comfortable? If you need more space don't hesitate to tell me."
"I'm all good", you respond a bit nervous, "and you?"
"Good as well"
"Good.", there is a small silence, "so what do you wanna do for 7 minutes?"
"I don't really know. This is the first time I play this game actually", he says that last sentence laughing a bit. The blonde then notices a black coat on a clothes hanger and puts it on. You wonder what he's doing until you hear him speak.
"So this is how America was discovered in 1492 by Christophe Colomb", says Aether imitating your Geography and History teacher M.Zhongli. You laugh at his imitation and then try to find something to do an imitation as well. You take a lab coat and cough a bit before starting: "Today we will learn about microbiology and how it affects the nature around us and even ourselves.", you say imitating your biology teacher
"That is a great imitation of M.Albedo", he says laughing. While he's trying to find another piece of clothing to imitate someone else, he trips and falls on top of you, your lips touching when you tried to catch him.
You both accidentally kiss like that for a few seconds before you both realize what's happening and he detaches himself from your lips to start apologizing profusely. You take a moment to understand what just happened and realize that you both accidentally kissed.
"Wait! I just kissed him!", you think to yourself.
"I am so sorry! I don't even know what happened I just tripped and we kissed accidentally. Not that it's a problem for me since I like you and all- Wait! I'm sorry, I don't even why I said that! It's okay if you don't like me that way and you can just forget what I said-"
"What if I do like you as well?"
"You do?"
"Of course! You're generous, caring, patient, handsome and so many more things that make me love you.", you said blushing a bit.
He's touched by your words and feels something inside him that makes him ask you: "Is it okay if I kiss you again?"
You respond by pulling him again to your lips and you both kiss each other like you both always dreamed of.

20 Questions
tagged by @artemis-devotee.
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
I have 9 works on several levels of finished on AO3;
I also had an FFdotnet account with a couple fics and I wrote stuff I mostly only shared with friends back in elementary school.
2. What’s your total AO3 words count?
17,379
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Inuyasha is and will always be my main fandom. On AO3, I have one chapter of a Frozen fic that I might go back to eventually.
I have written for Pokémon, Sailor Moon, Card Captor Sakura and Harry Potter, though these are not posted anywhere online that I know of.
And I have since distanced myself from Harry Potter for obvious reasons (terfs can go die mad)
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
All from Inuyasha and I'm not surprised since these are the most recent and the ones I've actually talked about within the fandom ^^
Before You Came Back
Snow
Kagome's Power
Caught in a Wave
Before I Came Back
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Usually not, because I won't add anything to the conversation besides a "thank you" and I forget as soon as I tab out of the email XD
But if it's a long one, I absolutetly do respond!
6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
None yet? I do have ideas, and I do love angst, but I usually give the characters at least on ok ending. Also most of my fics are unfinished as of now.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
So far, Kagome's Power, Before You Came Back / Before I Came Back are tied as they are all super angst with a happy ending.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
None that I have seen thank you very much
9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?
Yes, none are posted though. I'm starting to explore this side of writing so look forward to smutty fics in the cards =D
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I have a few crossover ideas, but none are written yet
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know? Please don't steal, it's free! There's no reason to steal!
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Again, I don't know. IF YOU TRANSLATE MY STUFF PLZ LET ME KNOW SO I CAN CRY HAPPY TEARS WITH YOU!
13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
I've collabed with artists, but never another writer. That'd be cool to do one day.
14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?
I'm InuKag trash and I shall not apologize
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
Look. LOOK. I'M GONNA FINISH IT OK? (it isn't even posted yet, I'm outlining it)
16. What are your writing strengths?
Character work and worldbuilding. These are the things I LOOOOOVEEE
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Fight scenes. WHY DO I LOVE SHOUNEN? WHY?
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I mean, I'm a Brazilian writer writing in english, so either write it in the language (and make it accurate if it's a real-world language so it's an easter egg for fans) if the point is that the pov character doesn't understand it, or just say it was said in said language if the pov character understands it.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Sailor Moon, Harry Potter and Inuyasha are tied for these, because I honestly can't remember what was my actual first fic
20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?
So far, I LOOOVE Kagome's Power and reread it often.
Anyone can do this if they want, but I'm tagging @wind-on-the-panes, @razdazberry and @anisaanisa

Helloooo :>
I saw your B&B dating headcanons and I was wondering if you could do hc’s for B&B Donnie? You totally don’t have to if you don’t want to though ❤️
Thank youuu!
Omgggg yesss sorry I have been meaning to post a lot of hcs but I am too eepy
taging some people who might want to see this: @hypocriticaltypwriter @sweaterrat @doodle88
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
The Good
-Don would literally do ANYTHING for you
-New tire? Don't worry about it. Something fixed? Already on top of it. Need emergency cuddles? On his way.
-He's also exactly 6" 1' so that has some ups and downs. If you're taller, he'd still INSIST on big big spoon.
-Once you break his icy exterior, he will 100% committed to you!
-He'll give you lots of gifts and things; mostly adhering to your needs, but the thought is still there
-He'll even cook for you! He may not be very good at it, but he'll try. Just for you.
-He'll try and participate in any and all sports you seemed intrested in. He'll take time to learn and game would want to play
-If you have something you want to learn, he'll find out EVERYTHING about it and explain it to you in a way that you can understand
-This dude is SUPER trustworthy; he values nothing higher then his family, and you're apart of that. He'll protect you at any cost, including his own life
-Although he's not one for a lot of physical attention, he'll definitely ignore his own needs for yours. If you need hugs and kisses he'll be right there!
-He'll do a lot of stuff for you too! Like, take you out on dates under the cover of darkness, he'll take you out to nice, romantic places and constantly flood you with praise and appreciation! Because, in all honesty, you deserve it💖
The Bad
-Donnie is a really busy dude, so he might not have a lot of time for you :(
-He's really blunt and might not phrase things so well. (He sucks at English too-)
-Between being the group's ONLY tech support, he's also stuck being a babysitter to Raph and Mikey. So there's a lot of stress.
-More prone to act out or yell at you. He'll apologize and say he was wrong but he still yelled and it still kinda hurt.
-Bro blames himself for everything (he gets it from leo istg) and is always emotionally a mess.
-He also really isn't the empathetic type, who when it comes down to a moral or emotional problem; he'll choose the most logical option
-Donnie doesn't get out much (i don't know why he would ever need too) so he's somewhat for a hermit. So if you like taking long walks and stuff like that, he's gonna ask "Can we do that virtually?"
-also, HE CANNOT SOCIALIZE. Like, he just can't. He doesn't know to to speak, and just talking to people has him as a nervous wreck. That's also why he doesn't have a lot of friends
-He'll definitely try and talk to you ONLY online, he hates how he looks and would actually die if you asked to video call or look at a picture of him
-Again, not a lot of time, so he'll try and make it up to you with some "appreciation time."
The Ugly
-Donnie will, unfortunately, cyberstalk you. You're his new hyperfixation! He needs to find everything out about you! (Note; he doesn't entirely realize how creepy that actually is-)
-He'll track your IP address if you ask/post something anonymously
-He'll always try and watch you somehow, either via your internet browser or your camera, he'll always be watching (it's out of love tho!!)
-He'll also ask to get a lot of pictures of you, even if you don't want too. He'll make a huge collage of just pictures of you and have it hanging in his lab.
-Don will gaslight and manipulate you, but he doesn't realize he's doing it until someone points it out. He'll say things like "If you love me, you'll do this." and "You wouldn't do that to me, that'll break my heart!"

7, 8, and 11 from the thingy that you rb earlier
:))
OG List
(I apologize in advance for the long answers, I just love answering stuff like that and I have a lot to say :] )
7. Your favourite tropes to read/write/draw
(I love them all the same, but it is slightly different for each, so I'm making a destinction)
Read: Honestly, kidnapping. I love characters getting kidnapped, and their loved ones worrying/rescuing them. This also includes more-or-less any type of 'going missing'-plot (incl. Char A just running away themselves). Just the feeling of "I have no idea where or how they are, and if they're even still alive", and then the relief when they meet again. Hmmm
Write: 'The world has been cruel and hard to you - therefore I won't be. I want to show you the beauty it has to offer, too <3' This is the best way I can describe it. Characters who've just had a rough time/life being unconditionally cared for and supported. Getting everything their heart has desired for so long. Short: Hurt/Comfort
Draw: While I have yet to draw this myself, actually (because humanoids are hard), any drawing of one character being hurt or scared, while another stands over them caringly and protectively - obviously willing to kick some ass if needed - has me go wild.
8. You hope more people will come to appreciate ___ (a ship, a trope, an episode, etc)
I understand that some people find the market oversaturated by now - that's valid - but still: Redemption
I love redemption so much. I want the story to gently cup a character's face and say "You are broken, but not beyond repair. You can get better, and be happy, and be surrounded by people you love and that love you back." They don't even necessarily need trauma or have gone down a super dark path, I also enjoy: "Character is a massive jerk, and we follow them down the road of being less of a jerk". These are honestly the main reasons both the 'Good Uncle Sly' and 'Apple Cousins' AUs exist.
There are few exceptions I can think of, of villains I'm personally obsessed with, and have not made a version of, where they are redeemed. I look at Reginald Bushroot, and Camille Chameleon, and the Dark Curse - and while for some more than others - there will usually be something at the back of my mind asking: "What if you didn't have to? What if you found love? What if you got to live a quiet, gentle life? What if one day you realized you live in a reality you would never have imagined come true? In a good way? What if everyone could be okay?"
Just
Tumblr media
Redemption
11. If you're a writer or artist, what fic or piece of art are you proud of making?
Fic: Family Discount
I was honestly surprised how many people liked that fic. Between 11 fics in total, this one definitely has some of my favourite comments (and it also has a surprsing amount of comments, I didn't expect that tbh). I was a little worried about posting a fanfic chapter-by-chapter, because the last time I tried that I basically (though not officially yet) stopped after one, because I can't write slice of life, it seems.
But so many people got emotionally invested in my writing, and I honestly didn't expect that? But even though I'm forced to take a semi-long break (for exam reasons), it is extremely motivating, and makes me feel that (as vague as it sounds), my stories do do something. How much joy the stuff you make can bring other people, is honestly so cool. Even if it's just a little fanart, or an ask, or a slightly-self-indulgent fanfic :)
I'm proud of having actually got this far, and also having written something me and other people love to read
Art:
I'm actually a little embarassed of this drawing, which I know sounds counter-intuitive to the prompt, but I swear, there is a reason it's here!
Tumblr media
This is my first, and currently only drawing of the Flim-Flam-Brothers
I had basically no idea what I was going to do with their designs, and I also only had 60min, with limited tools (because Colormari)
But the thing about this drawing, was that our prompt was basically just "New Years Resolutions". And mine was that I wanted to create more art, without getting bossed around by my inner sense of cringe. Because, while I have absolutely no problem with ranting and rambling and talking about my favourite characters all over the place; as soon as I want to put them into any form of art, my organs feel like they'll turn me inside out. It's the reason this blog has dozens of rambles about how much I love Darkwing Duck, and yet zero art of any of its characters (made by me).
But I made this - and kept it around - even though I knew the characters wouldn't look the best.
So this is the drawing I'm most proud of, because it actually exists :)

Uhh... I'd apologize for the wall of text I just left on your new chapter on AO3, but my mother always told me to never tell a lie. ;)
AHHHHH thank you SO MUCH i know it was so long and so much information to take in but im so so so overjoyed that you enjoyed! thank you for taking some time out of your day to write such a thought out and sweet comment 😭 literally my #1 motivator. us james girlies gotta stick together!!!!!!
i know you left the comment on ao3 but i've got a lot to say back so imma take some bits and pieces and write them out here ehehe
"I'd noticed that James seemed a bit hesitant to talk about his parents. Especially his mother. And I saw Roxy wonder if she was the type of girl you bring home to your parents. But I think for her, everything's going to become clearer at Mother's Day. It's not that James is ashamed or anything. I think it's because he loves her so much and he doesn't want his mother ruining what they have. She is a bit... domineering."
YES UGH roxy just doesn't get it bc she has such a good relationship w her dad and mentioned way way back after she broke up with dak that she thought he was hiding their relationship (which he was... but she's just speculating) so she's just a teensy bit freaked out about james potentially doing the same thing. and it's totally like you said, she just doesn't understand quite yet. from what she knows about the diamond family, she sees james' dad as the problem, not his mom. she's in for a ride lol
"But, seriously, side note for these two: OPEN UP TO EACH OTHER!"
mannn they struggle with that don't they 😭 it's so hard to write! not that i'm a perfect communicator in my own relationships but... yeah i remember being 17 and wanting to share ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about myself so...
"Kendall sure knows how to bribe her, doesn't he? And the cheeky payback with Kendall on the ice is so Kendall. I really love how you touched on Kendall being a prodigy on the ice. And of course he was the Captain. I can see it. And the nicknames too. Sir Rounded. Pretty Boy. Tensie. Sensacional. Please, please, PLEASE have the boys refer to each other by those nicknames at some point. Or even Roxy."
roxy and kendall are like brother and sister to me; of course he knows how to get what he wants from her!! especially when joe jonas is involved... but yes!! they talk big hockey game in the show but we never really get to see it; so i wanted to highlight that just a little bit. go captain go! i really don't know anything about hockey irl but i do know that nicknames are a big thing at least in the american league! did my best. if you ask my friends im equally as terrible at nicknames in real life. and don't you worry roxy is definitely calling james pretty boy at some point in the future (she already did in the rockstar au!) but i'll have to find a way to work in the others. did anyone almost catch that kendall nearly told her logan's real name? hortense... 'tensie... oh god she's going to freak lmao...
"Side note: I love how all the hockey guys are super chill. I actually like that image of them being so aggressive on the ice, but actually be teddy bears in real life. (Something that especially fits Carlos.)"
:)))))))) even though they appear for so little in this chapter the hockey boys mean so much to me. if anyone reads my monthly book reviews... well... you know i love a good hockey romance! they're all themed quite similar - the giant, violent sports machine actually has a soft side... god i'm such a sucker for it! james really isn't like that, at least not in the way his friends are, but i gotta squeeze in some self-indulgence in here and there. i named most of the guys after characters from those books! hawkins comes from nate hawkins (icebreaker by hannah grace) ((i know! you can all boo me later)) callaghan comes from russ callaghan (wildfire by hannah grace) graham comes from garett graham (the deal by elle kennedy) miller comes from rory miller (the fake out by stephanie archer) logan (not that one) comes from john logan (the mistake by elle kennedy) and streicher comes from jamie streicher (behind the net by stephanie archer) PHEW!!!! we love a cameo
"And the way Roxy got tricked by Katie was so... that was just glorious. And the way Roxy freaked out when she realized what was happening was great too. This is making me excited for Big Time Crush. Their conversation at the end was such a great touch. I'm glad Katie has that older sister figure in her life."
katie MASTERMIND strikes again... though if she just asked rox would've taken her anway!!! she was just embarrassed... it's hard for her to talk about her feelings when she's growing up with not one, but FOUR, overprotective older brothers! someone left a comment on my wattpad and said they really loved the roxy/katie interactions and i realized they had like. such little time together so i needed to fix that asap! i don't have an older sister, but i am one, so i tried to channel that energy into that scene hehe
"AH! JO SAID THE L-WORD ABOUT KENDALL! Damn. That episode is gonna be even more heartbreaking now."
>:) sorry. had to! bothered the fuck out of me they never said it in the original show soooo
"And the cat's named Hippocrates?! That is such a Logan thing, though. And I love how Logan and Roxy were able to talk to each other about their respective heartbreaks."
eheheh it took me sooo long to come up with a name for the cat, it was originally einstein but we talked about hippocrates in one of my classes the day i edited the chapter and it just felt more fitting... here is the mister in the garden himself. thanks google!
Tumblr media
and yess lord i love writing logan and roxy so so so much. out of all of them (even james!) she's most comfortable talking with him; i accidentally made them really similar personality wise and they just get along so well
"Aw, Carlos got Roxy on an early morning run. AND HE BROUGHT A PUPPY! (Her age doesn't matter - all dogs are puppies to me.) Missy sounds so cute! And the way she led the run is so cool. And I'm with Carlos. Keep Missy away from Lightning. He's such a protective dog dad."
MISSY!!!!! you are so right all dogs are puppies and missy is no exception!!!! i read somewhere a long time ago that dalmatians are natural leaders, so i just let our girl have her moment! my dog can be like that too though; she has her favorite walking paths! as for keeping her away from lighting... i think missy can hold her own :) but yes carlos is such a protective dog dad. that's his baby!!!! and here is missy, thank you once again google
Tumblr media
"And seriously? James needed to ask if he could kiss Roxy at midnight? Also... can I live in Roxy's dream house?"
yes!! he's a gentleman!!! they were drinking!!!!!! but rox was def thinking the same thing as you hehe. and she's sooooo funny! miss ma'am gets a few drinks in her and she just starts blabbing and blabbing (just like me fr) for anyone wondering what her biggest fantasy is... she's literally living it idk what to tell you. dream job, living in her dream city, dating the hottest guy ever who is so sweet and attentive to her, and he's FAMOUS? not that james needs to know that she thinks that :) lord knows she's going to love the introduction of one direction in the third season...
lmaooo there you go - an equally as long wall of text i am also not going to apologize for... i was bursting with all this information and just waiting for someone to ask loll. you know me. i can talk about my own silly story for hours and hours and hours-
thank you so much again for reading! i'm so excited for the next chapter of take a shot in the dark!!! and i noticed you put in a new section of your ao3 for kaelyn knight stories? are we getting short stories in the future!? ahhhh!!!!!!
